Sausage Biscuit Pinwheels - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons softened margarine or 4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk
1 lb ground sausage
milk or melted butter

Preparation

Measure and mix dry ingredients.
Using pastry cutter, a fork, or mixer, cut margarine (or butter) into dry mixture. Make a well in the center. Pour in 3/4 cups milk. Stir until dough is free from the sides of the bowl.
Turn out onto floured counter top or board. Roll dough into a rough rectangle 1/4 inch thick.
Open ground sausage and spread evenly on top of the dough.
Roll up jelly-roll style.
Cut roll into 1/2 inch slices (dough can be refrigerated overnight to ease the slicing if desired).
Arrange the slices on oiled cookie sheets.
Brush tops with milk or melted butter to aid browning.
Bake in 450 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
Sometimes I mix 1/2 cheese or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with the dough in this recipe. The uncooked, unsliced roll can be wrapped and frozen for later use. Simply thaw, slice, bake and serve.
